faint [rebirth]

Xiao Wuchen had long expected that Emperor Chengguang would be sad when he lost his throne and could not see the things left behind by his successors.

However, when he arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, he was slightly taken aback when he saw that his gray hair had turned white overnight.

Xiao Wuchen didn't wear the prince's clothes today, but changed into the emperor's clothes——Xiao Junye was always thinking about him, and he had already prepared these before the forced palace had begun, so the clothes Xiao Wuchen wore were Great fit.

As for the clothes at the enthronement ceremony, the people of the Sewing Department in the palace have been changing non-stop since the moment Xiao Wuchen successfully forced the palace yesterday—the new emperor is too impatient to do it temporarily. After coming out, I can only change with the original clothes.

Fortunately, everyone was united, and now they have changed their clothes, just waiting for Xiao Wuchen to wear them.

Emperor Chengguang didn't think so in his heart, he had always had a good memory, and at a glance he saw that the clothes on Xiao Wuchen's body were not his old clothes, but were sewn according to Xiao Wuchen's figure.Thinking of Xiao Wuchen's act of forcing the palace yesterday, he laughed mockingly.

"I used to think that you would force the palace, but it was a helpless move. But now it seems—" Chengguang Emperor snorted coldly, "You have planned and planned to drive me from the throne a long time ago? If so? If I had known today, no matter what, I should not have softened my heart towards you."

Xiao Wuchen was noncommittal.

This dress was prepared by the emperor's uncle - as early as when the emperor's uncle and him knew that Emperor Chengguang had hesitated to give him a great tonic, the two of them knew in their hearts that once some thoughts arise, they will never disappear.Since Emperor Chengguang wanted to give Dan Xiao Wuchen back to his previous weak body, then even if Emperor Chengguang is hesitating now, once Xiao Wuchen intentionally or unintentionally does something to make Emperor Chengguang The dissatisfaction in his heart, or even what other people said, will make Emperor Chengguang bring up this idea again in his heart. After weighing it several times, Emperor Chengguang will take it seriously sooner or later, and give that great tonic pill to Xiao Wu dust.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Junye will try his best to persuade Xiao Wuchen to force the palace to usurp the throne. Although Xiao Wuchen is filial, when he hears the emperor's uncle's persuasion, although he is silent on the surface, his heart gradually softens. What he has to do—no matter how filial he is, he doesn't want to become the weak and weak prince again just because of his father's unreasonable suspicion. , who can't even accompany the emperor's uncle for the rest of his life.

And what embarrasses him the most is that when his father did this, apart from his suspicion, he also wanted to abolish his body to make way for the abolished prince.

No matter how filial Xiao Wuchen is, after knowing what Emperor Chengguang thinks, why is he still hesitating about forcing the palace?Therefore, once the opportunity came, Xiao Wuchen did not hesitate to join the emperor's uncle, and when Emperor Chengguang designed him, he plotted against Emperor Chengguang in turn—he wanted to live, and he wanted to live in peace and stability.In this way, he can only win in the confrontation with Emperor Chengguang.

Because, if he wins, Emperor Chengguang can still live, and he can still be the Supreme Emperor steadily. Although he has many complaints about Emperor Chengguang, Emperor Chengguang is his father after all. Regardless of fame, or for the little filial piety left in his heart, he will treat Emperor Chengguang well, so that Emperor Chengguang can spend his old age in peace.

However, once he loses to Emperor Chengguang, what awaits him will be a worse ending than the abolished prince.

And under that ending, if Emperor Chengguang is alive, he can live on forever. Once Emperor Chengguang dies, the deposed prince who succeeds to the throne will never let him live for the sake of his own throne.

What Xiao Wuchen lost, besides these, was his uncle.

He might still be able to spare a life when Emperor Chengguang was alive, but the emperor uncle who helped him would definitely be executed by Emperor Chengguang.

Under such circumstances, how could Xiao Wuchen bear it?How can Emperor Chengguang plot against him and be successfully plotted by him?

However, these words in his heart don't need to be said seriously to Emperor Chengguang.Even if he said it, with Emperor Chengguang's temperament, he would never believe it, would he?

So Xiao Wuchen just remained silent.

However, his silence misunderstood Emperor Chengguang.

"Is that really the case?" Emperor Chengguang sneered, "Sure enough, you, like everyone else, are plotting against my throne. Sure enough, your filial piety in the past was all fake?"

Xiao Wuchen remained silent.

Emperor Chengguang had gray hair all over his head. Although he combed it extremely smoothly, it still couldn't conceal the fatigue of a night of aging.

He also wanted to scold Xiao Wuchen, scold Xiao Wuchen for his unfilial piety, scold Xiao Wuchen for his hypocrisy, and scold Xiao Wuchen for his hatred of taking his throne... However, no one knows better than him that the winner is the king and the loser is the king. Kou, just like when he won his father and became emperor in one fell swoop.Now, Xiao Wuchen had won him, so no matter how he struggled, he was the one who failed.

No matter how much he scolds, he won't be able to win back the throne.And his idea of ​​letting the deposed prince inherit the throne is absolutely impossible.

What's more, the saddest thing is that he is going to die.

Either the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, or if he closes his eyes today, there will be no chance to open them again.

He was going to die, but Xiao Wuchen was still alive, young and healthy.

And his only remaining children in this world will live under Xiao Wuchen's hands for the rest of their lives.

Emperor Chengguang closed his eyes slightly, tried to suppress his anger, opened his eyes for a long time, and then tried to calmly say: "So, you are here now, because you want me to pass on the throne to you in person at your succession ceremony. Is it?"

Xiao Wuchen remained silent.

Emperor Chengguang calculated in his heart, and said: "This matter is not impossible. It's just that I have helped you this time to make your succession seem justifiable, so you have to promise me that your mother's bequeathed It is the thing that should be returned to me. I am ashamed of her life and miss her for half of my life. I only hope that after death, I can be buried with her empress."

Xiao Wuchen calmly said: "And then?" Seeing that Emperor Chengguang was in a daze, he continued to ask, "After you and your mother were buried together, did you continue to plot against her? She has been plotted against her all her life, until she died, thinking that you loved her." It is pitiful enough for her to be counted against and protect her. If the emperor really feels ashamed of her, he should stop thinking about meeting her after death."

Emperor Chengguang was stunned, and then said: "How do you understand this at such a young age? I will lie to her, and I have to do it. At least, I gave her a child after all..."

"However, even for this child, do you want him to be as weak as a useless person all his life, and it is best to die young, and then pass the throne to the useless prince you feel guilty about?" Xiao Wuchen sneered, "My mother was confused when she was alive, that's all. I don't know, after my mother dies, after seeing how you treat me, whether she will still respect and love you, whether she will treat you like this, and regard you as heaven!"

Emperor Chengguang was so angry that his chest stopped, and when he was about to curse, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his throat. After coughing several times, he finally regained his breath, and cursed: "You should talk about your parents' affairs. Where is your filial piety? If you are not filial to me, that’s all. How can you not even be filial to your mother? You really let me down.”

Xiao Wuchen didn't speak again.

Emperor Chengguang continued to scold Xiao Wuchen for a few more words, and finally said: "Even if you don't want to do this, even if you refuse to see any of your mother's leftovers on the dying day in order to punish me, After a few days, after I return, the ministers of the court will definitely let me be buried with the Empress Yuan and your mother. This is something you cannot and cannot change. Even if you don’t want to now, you will be willing in the future of."

"I don't need to exchange this matter with you." Emperor Chengguang looked into the distance and sighed, "It's not impossible for me to help you at your succession ceremony, but it's just that my remaining sons and daughters, as well as yours. The heirs left behind by the elder brothers... these people, you must swear a poisonous oath to take good care of these people for me. And if you have any heirs in the future, your heirs should naturally be the heirs of Daxing. If not... You have to swear that among the descendants left behind by your elder brother, choose a sage to inherit the throne!"

"This is my only and final request." Emperor Chengguang looked at Xiao Wuchen with burning eyes, "As long as you agree to this condition, I will definitely cooperate with you in the remaining few days and make everyone in the world feel happy." I thought, I sincerely passed on the throne to you, and your act of forcing the palace to seize the throne is just a rumor. So, can you agree?"

Emperor Chengguang felt that it was his biggest concession that he could say these words.After all, as far as he is concerned, he has been the most noble and proud person at this time for 34 years, and he is also Xiao Wuchen's father. With his status, he can talk to Xiao Wuchen so kindly When these words came out, Xiao Wuchen had to listen carefully and obey.

As a result, Xiao Wuchen laughed lightly.

Emperor Chengguang frowned, and there was a bad thought in his heart.

"Father, it is true that I will not have any heirs in this life." Xiao Wuchen said slowly, "However, I will not have any heirs, not because my body is weak and cannot conceive a woman, but because I have Determined, I want to be with a man in this life, never to be separated.”

Emperor Chengguang stared at Xiao Wuchen angrily, his lips were trembling, obviously he did not expect Xiao Wuchen to say such words.He stretched out his dry hand with age spots and pointed at Xiao Wuchen, so angry that he couldn't even speak for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Wuchen's words were not finished yet.

"Not only that. I have also decided that future successors will not be selected from my father's children and grandchildren. Of course, I don't need my father to preside over me when I ascend the throne today. After all, although I want to be the emperor of Daxing, I will take on the role The responsibility of Daxing has made the people of Daxing rich, but I never thought that I would be named Mingjun in the annals of history. Even if I am called a faint emperor by the world, as long as I am worthy of the people in my heart, I will have no regrets in this life. "

Xiao Wuchen took a last look at Emperor Chengguang, and said, "So, you don't have to do anything extra, trying to use this method to exchange something with me. Because, I have already been completely disappointed with my father, and I have nothing more to ask for."

After saying this, Xiao Wuchen left in a huff.

Only Emperor Chengguang stayed in Jiaofang hall in a state of embarrassment and dejection.

Fall in love with a man?The throne will never be passed on to his direct descendants?Nothing to ask for in this life?

The blows one after another made Chengguang Emperor stunned for a long time, angry, annoyed and hated in his heart, but Xiao Wuchen's last sentence "I don't want anything from him in this life" made Chengguang Emperor become the king again. , at a loss for the first time.

Has he actually pushed his once favorite child to this point?

Xiao Wuchen naturally didn't know what was going on in Emperor Chengguang's mind.

When he left the Jiaofang Hall, he ran into Xiao Junye who was looking at him with bright eyes.

Xiao Wuchen was startled, and was about to speak, when Xiao Junye bowed slightly to him, and said "Holy Majesty".

Xiao Wuchen glanced at the people around him, nodded slightly, then walked forward as if nothing had happened, and said, "Uncle Huang is here. But is it time?"

Xiao Junye walked half a step behind Xiao Wuchen, and said: "Yes, Your Majesty is rushing over to change clothes now, just in time for the succession ceremony."

He especially emphasized the words "change clothes".

Xiao Wuchen glanced sideways at him, the tips of his ears were slightly red.

Xiao Junye felt even more itchy.

He couldn't help but said in a low voice: "You are not joking. Wu Chen said just now that in the world of hell, there is no need to be separated, and it must be the one who counts forever. I also wish to be inseparable from Your Majesty for life to life."

Xiao Junye lowered his voice so that only Xiao Wuchen could hear it.

Knowing that there are palace people around, Xiao Wuchen's heart moved slightly, and he couldn't say anything, so he just gave a low "um" and had the right to answer.

Xiao Junye was instantly elated.

He knew that his Wuchen also loved him.

Their future will definitely be extraordinarily happy.

Even if this relationship cannot be told to the world, even if they can only be called monarchs and ministers in front of people, even if there may be many obstacles between them, but as long as his Wuchen likes him, he has confidence and Let's walk down together.

In the 34th year of Chengguang, on September 25, the new emperor Chengning Emperor Xiao Wuchen succeeded to the throne, and succeeded to the throne the following year.Respecting Emperor Chengguang as the Supreme Emperor, he temporarily lives in Jiaofang Palace, thinking of his dead wife.

In the 30th year of Chengguang, on September 27, Emperor Chengguang died of illness in Jiaofangdian. Young and promising, he should be crowned emperor, and the deposed prince should be crowned King Shang, buried in the imperial mausoleum and so on.In the end, he also said that Emperor Cheng Ning's body is not as good as ordinary people, and the matter of keeping filial piety can only be followed by the matter of keeping filial piety for his successors, and the [-]-day observance of filial piety should be over.

In October of the same year, Emperor Chengning appointed King Zhao as regent due to his physical discomfort, who could handle most of the affairs on behalf of Emperor Chengning.

In mid-October of the same year, Emperor Chengning decreed that the regent would replace Emperor Chengning and lead troops to chase down the four kings who refused to surrender their fiefs and take back their fiefs.At the same time, an imperial edict was issued, ordering the four protons who had made meritorious deeds in hunting down the Yuan and Shu kings to return to the fief and formally become the heirs of the fief.

On October [-]th, Emperor Chengning discussed with the regent about recovering the fief, and stayed the regent in the palace.

This is not the first time, so everyone in the palace is used to it.

However, the regent was not so satisfied.

He hugged the little emperor on the tip of his heart, and refused to let go.

"It's been three days, and the emperor hasn't been able to hold Chen'er to sleep for three days." Xiao Junye's tone was quite sad, "When the emperor leaves tomorrow, it may take at least half a year before I can see Chen'er again. "

Thinking of it this way, Xiao Junye felt more and more uncomfortable, holding Xiao Wuchen's body, he felt a little restless.

Xiao Wuchen noticed it, hesitated for a moment, and then put his hand on Xiao Junye's hugging him.

"How about tonight..."

Before Xiao Wuchen finished speaking, Xiao Junye let go of Xiao Wuchen's hand, and said with a smile: "It's better to wait for the emperor's uncle to return from a great victory, and give Chen'er back all those fiefdoms, then... we In a nice bridal chamber."

Although Emperor Chengguang did many things that made Xiao Wuchen unfavorable, he was Xiao Wuchen's father after all, and he left such an imperial decree before his death, so Xiao Wuchen was indeed keeping his filial piety for Emperor Chengguang.

To observe filial piety is to abstain from sex, so Xiao Wuchen and Xiao Junye have never crossed the threshold until now.

"Then just wait." Xiao Wuchen really wanted to keep this hundred days of filial piety for Emperor Chengguang, and complete this father-son relationship, so he didn't force it, and just smiled, "It's just that the emperor's uncle will leave tomorrow." I am about to leave, I am so reluctant to let go, and I have many entrustments, I want to stay with my uncle to talk in detail all night, and sleep on my feet, what does my uncle think?"

Xiao Junye also laughed lowly: "Chen, please obey the holy will and dare not disobey."

The next day, the Regent Xiao Junye led the army and left Luoyang.

Emperor Chengning sent him outside Luoyang City, but was persuaded to return by the regent king kneeling three times.
